"Where have you gone, Joe Theismannio, a nation turns its lonely eyes to you..."

10/16/07


A few observations from last nights MNF tilt..Poor Joey Harrington, ouch -- that offensive line and receiving core are making an already poor NFL QB look horrible. As for the Giants it was great to see Toomer have a good night and for Shockey to get involved early, the game should have been about 80-10, but you are not going to see ANY complaining over here with a 4-2 record. One month ago today, the G-men where staring down the barrel of a 4-12 season it seemed and the Mets were 3.5 games up in the NL East, my how things have changed..

Now if I can get a little Mushnick on ya,

Tony Kornheiser and Ron Jaworski are flat out *&^#$*^ terrible. Joe Theismann was a fantastic announcer (perhaps because he actually knew what he was talking about) and just listening to these two bumble around for three hours is flat out infuriating. I wanted to smash my remote and vomit simultaneously at a few different points in the broadcast, what is worse Tony's weird jokes or Jaw's goof ball laughter in response?? Call it a push.

Who is driving this ship in Bristol?? They are making the Golf Channel execs seem on the ball.

I do like Tony (for the record) just fine with Michael Wilbon and think that he is a pretty clever guy, but this is football and did you really fire Theismann (a HOF QB) in favor of Tony!? Forget longing for the days of Gifford, Michaels and Dierdorf, I'll take Dan Fouts and Dennis Miller for peet's sake. Mike Tirico belongs in a tower behind the 18th green at Kapalua with Andy North sporting a Tommy Bahama, but this is not on him he is the innocent bystander.

Nice of Jimmy Kimmel to come in and use some of the great "shock" comedy he and his loser girlfriend share and then he even throws a low blow at my man Joe. Tough night in the booth, it has made me forget Mr "hello friends" Jim Nantz for the time being, but he'll get his turn.

I also thought it was funny when Kimmel said "didn't you get Joe fired, Tony?" Probably not knowing that's even a theory. They should have just kept the old team from Sunday night football. They had legitimate chemistry and knew football. Period. Espn, in their attempt to hype EVERYTHING up, made a bad decision in Kornheiser. And it truly amazes me how much I enjoy PTI and Tony on that show and how much he makes me cringe on Monday nights. Jaws is just a clown. Plain and simple.
